Form & Verdict
Point winner for Colin Bowe; it's been an underwhelming start for her top yard, coming up short when odds-on for a Tramore bumper and her jumping lacked fluency when only fifth in a modest maiden here three weeks ago (the winner Fathom Two runs earlier); needs to raise her game to be winning this.

Form & Verdict
Point winner; placed behind smart opposition over hurdles, including the likes of Ashroe Diamond and Joyeux Machin last season; beaten by odds-on chances the last twice and, with fitness unlikely to be an issue, he should prove difficult to beat.
